fill_pool() checks locklessly at the beginning whether the pool has to be refilled. After that it checks locklessly in a loop whether the free list contains objects and repeats the refill check. If both conditions are true, it acquires the pool lock and tries to move objects from the free list to the pool repeating the same checks again. There are two redundant issues with that: 1) The repeated check for the fill condition 2) The loop processing The repeated check is pointless as it was just established that fill is required. The condition has to be re-evaluated under the lock anyway. The loop processing is not required either because there is practically zero chance that a repeated attempt will succeed if the checks under the lock terminate the moving of objects. Remove the redundant check and replace the loop with a simple if condition.
